This Will Make You Never, Ever Want To Get In A Hot Tub Again

With warmer spring days and cooler nights upon us, plus summer vacations (hopefully) in the not-too-distant future, it's officially hot tub season. (Not to mention The Bachelorette starts back up again on Monday, meaning a summer full of steamy hot tub moments awaits on reality TV if not in actual real life.)

UNITED STATES - FEBRUARY 07: THE BACHELOR: OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN - "Episode 1002" - As 15 bachelorettes settle into a mansion in the Hollywood Hills, the fairy tale begins. On his first group date, Andy and seven striking ladies take the Sunset Strip by storm with an evening of cocktails and bull riding that ends in the hot tub. Bevin can't handle the competition, becoming irritated, and seethes over perceived slights. Then one lucky bachelorette is singled out to spend a romantic evening aboard the Bachelor's private yacht, on "The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman," MONDAY, APRIL 9 (9:30-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

But while a soak in the hot tub may sound relaxing, is it hygienic? Does shaking in a few chemicals actually do the trick?
